|There | |Here's my build. It takes advantage of Dim Glacier's Hell's Jack enchant, focusing on Jack Frost Nova and Hell's Drive. There are two variations: a more powerful glass cannon build, and a slightly less powerful but much beefier variant. More comments below the screenshots. | ||
For Hyper Novice, there are two possible ways to build. | |||
[[File:HN Mage 1.png|left|900x900px|thumb]] | |||
[[File:HN Mage 2.png|left|900x900px|thumb]] | |||
[[File:HN Mage 3.png|left|900x900px|thumb|The first build has less damage (by appx. 10-15%) but has far greater survival thanks to Overcoming Crisis (OC). Even at just level 2 Overcoming Crisis, it still provides a decent boost to HP (example: from 85k to 125k), but more importantly, access to a panic / oh $$$$ button in case of emergency, as long as there is 50 AP and not on a 60-second cooldown. The bonus PATK and SMATK is the cherry on top.<br> | |||
However, there are compromises resulting in around 10-15% less damage. Self Study Sorcery (SSS) is down to level 5. The main skills Hell's Drive (HD) and Jack Frost Nova (JFN) are maxed, Jupitel Thunderstorm (JTS) is down to level 9, and Ground Gravitation (GG) is down to level 7. JTS has max hits and AoE at level 9, while GG has max AoE at level 7. Despite the reduced damage, soloing Depth 2 (with adequate equipment) is very possible and relatively comfy, with a Brilliant Protection Scroll and Thunderproof Potion of course.]] | |||
[[File:HN Mage 3 ver 2.png|left|900x900px|thumb|The second build has more damage (appx. 10-15%), thanks to a maxed out SSS, HD and JFN. JTS is still level 9. GG is now at level 9, resulting in increased damage and significantly less ACD. However, the lack of OC results in a more fragile Glass Cannon build, losing access to an HP boost and full heal. As a result, soloing Depth 2 is still possible, but significantly more care must be taken, especially against really hard-hitting Mosquitoes and Salamanders. The panic button is gone. Be careful!]] | |||

|The Mage Tree's AP skill greatly increases the damage of all skills for 5 minutes. However, because it uses up '''A LOT''' of skill points, it is up to you to decide whether to invest in this and specialize in 1-2 skills or ignore it and max 3-4 skills for more variety at the cost of reduced damage. | |The Mage Tree's AP skill greatly increases the damage of all skills for 5 minutes.

|Overcoming Crisis is a super-duper skill that increases Max HP, adds PATK and SMATK, and fully restores AP. It costs a mere 50 AP to cast and has a 60-second cooldown. A fantastic panic button to prevent a terrible fate. Due to skill point constraints, physical builds won't have problem with it. But mage builds will be forced to compromise and make decisions on what skills to get. | |||
